Mr. Speaker, the UN report to which the hon. member refers provides a sobering assessment of the challenge facing us today.
Since the 1970s, the world has lost about 60% of its wildlife, and Canada is one of five countries representing three-quarters of the world's remaining wilderness. The fact is that we have an opportunity and an obligation to do something about this emergency.
We moved forward in budget 2018 with an investment of $1.3 billion, the largest investment in nature conservation in its history.
I have been in the member's province to work on the southern mountain caribou file. This is one of many challenges, and it is time to sound the alarms.
